On-site at the wellhead / northeastern Wisconsin (any private well property in the Silurian dolomite aquifer region)
Wellhead integrity and setback protection audit — Northeastern Wisconsin.
Inspect a northeastern Wisconsin wellhead cap, casing, and grading for a contamination pathway into the aquifer. Read all of it

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Inspect a northeastern Wisconsin wellhead cap, casing, and grading for a contamination pathway into the aquifer. A published study of private wells here found that a sound wellhead was not the main risk factor.
Offer to pay $170. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Damaged caps or casing route to a licensed well contractor, and any setback shortfall routes to the state or local well program. Any unused or abandoned well routes to a licensed contractor for decommissioning, never capped informally or left open as a contamination pathway.
The full safety list for this job:
- This is physical integrity and setback observation only, it does not certify water quality, which stays the certified lab's job.
- Setback shortfalls can also route to the local health department.
- The Wisconsin finding that well construction was generally not related to contamination is a reason this audit never says a well is safe: a sound cap and casing do not make the water safe, so a certified-lab test stays the measurement, and this packet never reads the study as a rate for any one well or as a reason to skip a wellhead fix.
- This packet is independent of and not affiliated with USDA-ARS, USGS, Marshfield Clinic or the study authors: named as the real, verified source of a published private-well study, not an endorsement or partnership.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- measuring tape (long, for setback distances)
- camera
- GPS-capable phone
- flashlight for inspecting the cap and vent
- a copy of the state/local well-construction setback minimums
- notepad or tablet for the audit checklist
Steps
- 1. Walk to the wellhead and record its GPS location; photograph the overall wellhead and casing before close inspection.
- 2. Inspect the well cap and seal for security, tamper-resistance, and vermin-proofing, and confirm the screened vent is intact; photograph and record any crack, gap, or missing vent screen.
- 3. Measure the casing height above final grade and observe whether the ground slopes away from the wellhead or pools water at the casing; photograph the grading.
- 4. Measure and record the setback distance from the wellhead to the nearest septic tank or drainfield, livestock area, and fuel or chemical storage; compare each to the cited state or local well-construction minimum.
- 5. Walk the rest of the property for any unused or abandoned well; if found, record its exact location and condition with photos.
- 6. Never enter a well pit, vault, or any confined space during this audit; observe and photograph from ground level and outside the structure only.
- 7. Route every deficiency found by name: a damaged cap, seal, or casing routes to a licensed well contractor; a setback shortfall routes to the state or local well program or health department; any unused or abandoned well routes to a licensed well contractor for proper decommissioning (sealing).
- 8. Enter every finding, measurement, photo, and routing into the proof record; sign it.
What counts as done
- Cap/seal, casing height, and grading each recorded with a specific finding and a dated photo
- Setback distances to the nearest septic system, livestock area, and fuel/chemical storage measured and compared to the cited state/local minimum
- Property walked for unused/abandoned wells, with any found recorded by location and condition
- Every deficiency routed by name: licensed well contractor for cap/casing/decommissioning work, or the state/local well program for setback questions
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: regulated. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
